Beef Wellington and Porkchop - Domestic Medium Hair Cat for Adoption in Phoenix, Arizona

Let's just get this out at the beginning ... this bonded pair of brothers are absolutely terrified here at the shelter, which is understandable once their story is known. Born 3/28/21 (per the family who had them since birth), for the last 2 years these cats have basically been kept in a very small room, maybe a closet, with little or no human interaction other than being given food/water and litter box care. The reason was that one of the family members was highly allergic and so the other person didn't interact with the cats so as to not cause a reaction in the allergic family member. The family tried unsuccessfully for 2 years to rehome the pair.

Home Fur Good agreed to take the cats - to help give them the chance at a great life with an experienced cat family who understands cat behavior and needs, particularly with terrified felines. The key is a lot of patience, love, and maybe a few treats. In the dog/cat rescue world, there is a 3-3-3 Guideline. New pets need: 3 days to decompress; 3 weeks to settle in; 3 months to feel at home. But for many animals, this rule could be the 6-6-6 rule, or an even higher number. New pets need to be allowed whatever time they need to learn to trust again so whomever adopts this bonded pair should understand and believe in this process. We know out there is someone who is willing to show these boys that the world can be a safe and loving space. Our staff and volunteers will continue to work with each cat, letting each adjust at their own pace, to a world of noises, humans, and more indoor freedom.

The black cat with a tuxedo face is Beef Wellington. Porkchop is the red tabby.

The adoption fee for this pair, who must be adopted together, is $175. The fee includes spaying/neutering, age-appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FELV, microchipping, and a complimentary wellness visit at Phoenix Mountain Animal Hospital. To meet the cats, please call 602-971-1334 to schedule an appointment for any day of the week. Walk-ins are also welcome during our normal adoption hours on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Home Fur Good Animal Rescue is located at 10220 North 32nd Street, just south of Shea Blvd in Phoenix.
